2007 TF movie ... no spoilers
Today's Shortpacked! really covers my view of the reactions of a lot of the TF fanbase. The strip can be found here -- if you're completely avoiding spoilers, then don't look.
I keep seeing these fans who scream and yell that they're going to boycott the movie because of the voice actors, because of the director, because of the live actors, because of the animation, etc. I could respect them if they could stick to their guns about it, but I know that more than half of these rabid fans are going to be there on opening night and a portion of those are going to be bitching throughout the film.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the people who are able to come up with a valid argument for why Actor A is better than Actor B or why this animation is better than that. I'm not talking about the "Well gee, I can't see how that would work" crowd. I'm talking about the "OMG!!!! HOW THE &%#&(*^ CAN THEY DO THAT!!!! IT'S A SL4P IN THE FACE!!! THEY *&)(^() SUXORS!! DIE BAY DIE!!11!!1!"
*shakes head* I suppose that some people, especially the children on the internet who hide behind they annonimity, would die if they stopped complaining and started acting like the adults the majority of them are.

no subject
No point in getting upset by looking at something that you know already upsets you.
That's the exact reason why I didn't go see The daVinci Code, Posseidon, and King Kong. I knew I wouldn't like them, so I avoided them.
